URGENT DISPATCH FROM CURACAO:
Though they presently exceed the accepted pollution levels by more than
twice with some contaminants, ISLA Oil recently announced their intent to
implement a substantial expansion project ($190 million) to their present
facilities while simultaneously assuring that their environmental pollution
by-products would decrease dramatically. Does anyone "really" believe that?
If you DO, we'd like to sell you a "bridge" we own in southern Arizona!

before you can actually see it!!"
Upon seeing ISLA for the first time, one recent visitor from the U.S.
